Rag Garlands....

If this looks like a bunch of rags....well you guessed it right. But, the good part is that when you tie a bunch of rags together....they to start to look pretty good...

I've been making these for my booth and they are selling. It's an easy project but a little time consuming. I use white roping and cut it about a 1 yard length. I used an old sheet for these two garlands plus bits of ribbon, lace and trims...and then start tying them onto the roping until I get the fullness that I like.

Add a few ornaments or bits of bling or whatever you have on hand...

I've seen these around Blogland so I do not know where the original idea came from but I sure thank them. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Now get out there this week and shop for all those great Black Friday deals and sales. Then make, create, bake, photograph, draw, sew or find something wonderful and share it with all of us. ~~hugs~~Sissie

Sissie

Welcome to Sissie's Shabby Cottage. I love it when you stop by and love it even more when you leave a comment or just hang around.
Sissie is a family nickname that my brother gave me the day I was born and it has stuck with me ever since. To me it's an endearing name that I've come to love. So, I'm Sissie to the ones I love, which includes all of my very special blogging friends.
I love showing pictures of my home which I have decorated from top to bottom, and is still a work in progress. I love vintage, cottage, shabby, nordic and romantic styles.
I also have shop spaces in the Calabash Trading Company in Calabash, NC and Fancy Flea 2 in Shallotte, NC. This is where I sell my creations, Jeanne d'Arc Clothing and furnishing. You will also find me on Facebook.
I hope you will come back to see me often and, I'd love it too if you would become a follower.
I'm so happy that you are here.
hugs,
Sissie
